About Cathy Eads

Hi I'm Cathy, a wife and mother of three children, as well as a home based rep for Usborne Books & More (children's book publisher). I'll coordinate your reservation for our unit at Gulf Place Cabanas # 410. On the map below our unit is located where County Road 30-A meets S. County 393.

Cathy Eads purchased this condo in 2008

Why Cathy Eads chose Santa Rosa Beach

Since our first stay here, we dreamed of owning a little piece of the paradise that is Santa Rosa Beach. The beach is never crowded. The amenities are outstanding and well managed. We can completely unwind and relax here. We have three children who also love spending time here and we're happy to offer our Gulf Place Getaway for the enjoyment of other families looking for a truly quiet, relaxing, affordable beach vacation - close to the fun & convenience of Destin & Seaside, without the crowds.

What makes this condo unique

Three great pools - two heated, with hot tubs - and tennis courts.

Views from the balcony of our 4th (top) floor unit feature amazing sunsets over the gorgeous Gulf of Mexico.

Two private beach access points no more than 3 minutes from our entry door.

Cute boutique shops, spa and restaurants right here in the Gulf Place Development.

Small, nice, great location, beautiful view

Overall property is very nice and in a great location. The condo itself is a little small for our family of 5 (which includes 3 teen girls), but still doable. The beds were good and comfortable, but we did not try the sofa bed. Due to past experiences with other sofa beds we always bring an air mattress. The view from the balcony is great! We even saw some dolphins having fun in the morning. The beach was not crowded at all, which is in stark contrast to the beaches in Destin. The entire town is calm and relaxing which is just our speed. Perfect Pig and Pizza By The Sea are both great restaurants and are literally across the street. Historically, I have not been much of a beach person (I don't like sand. It's coarse and rough and irritating and it gets everywhere.), but it is such a great location that I would not hesitate to stay here again.

Very clean, beautiful view, but most uncomfortable beds and pillows I have ever slept in

I wanted to give this more stars but having stayed for 7 nights, it was a looooong stay. My husband went for 2 massages just to make it though the trip and wanted me to leave less of a review but everything else was as described. The master bed was creaky and lumpy with a frame that kept coming undone and collapsing in the center. The pillows were like sacks of flour and weighed a ton. My 12 and 14 year old daughters slept on the fold out sofa which was well outside its lifespan. There was a ridge in the center and when you would sit up or sit on the bed, you would fall through. My 5 and 7 year olds slept in the built in bunk beds and they appeared to have the best rest out of all of us. Moral of the story, it is time for a refresh. Additionally, obviously a short term thing and not the owners fault, but the large construction with heavy equipment with safety sirens and percussion hammering starting at 7am wasn't ideal either as well as the stench of a broken sewer pipe.

That being said, the location was awesome. Kids could roam freely without too much worry, beach was close with private access and despite the fact it was a holiday weekend, the beach wasn't over crowded. Unit was clean with good AC but the handle on the metal balcony slider door had broken off and left a very sharp nub that only the adults were allowed to open. Most staple utensils were provided and we didn't feel like we were lacking. Perfect Pig has great food and of course Sunrise coffee shop had great breakfast and coffee with a smile. Recommended chair service was on point and chairs were ready to go every morning. Assuming the bedding were updated, I definitely feel the value was phenomenal for the location and would consider returning.

Glad you found the overall value of the location to be top notch.

Great Condo!

What a great little place! I've stayed around Santa Rosa beach before, and noticed the group of condos, but never stayed there. Check in was seamless. No problem at all with the lock - push in code and the door unlocks. The condo was cleaned well and the view.....let me say this, a nice breeze blowing while drinking morning coffee on the balcony was pretty close to perfect! The beach access is down the elevator and around the building, across the street and down the access path. 5 minutes tops, probably more like 3. Inside was nice. The bed was comfortable. It was just two of us, but the condo could easily do 2 adults and 2 kids in the bunks. I really don't even have any suggestions for improvement. Great job Cathy. Will book again if it's just the two of us.

Property located in great location, service and managed badly

Over the years, my family and I have rented homes and condos through VRBO. Since we hadn't been on a family vacation in three years, we decided to rent this condo for a much needed vacation. Unfortunately, during our stay, we encountered issues that I wish no family endure while vacationing.

On July 30, 2016, my family and I arrived at the location and checked in. Later that evening after dinner, we encountered our first issue, we could not enter the condo. There was a malfunction with the door that left us my wife and my 22 month old daughter stranded with nowhere to go. So, I sent my wife and my 22 month old daughter to the car where they could stay cool. We attempted to contact the property owner several times to no avail. We also contacted the on-site security guard and VRBO who could not assist us. Finally after, approximately 1.5 hours later, the property owner called us back to provide assistance.

On July 31, 2016, we attempted to turn on the television in the front room to watch some TV while having breakfast (normal things you expect to work while on vacation) only to find that the TV isn't working. But the website stated that we would have access to working Television in front and master bedroom (verbiage not verbatim) . We talked to the property manager who wanted me to trouble shoot the TV (while on vacation, they wanted us to work). We told the property manager that this was not acceptable and that they need to have someone a professional tech come out and assess the problem. Again, it took the property owner approximately 2 hours to respond to our communication. The tech diagnosed the issue which could not be rectified until Wednesday, the day before we believe. (nobody ever showed to fix the issue Wednesday). For the troubles the property owner attempted to appease us by purchasing a pizza from the local pizza restaurant and a $50 gift certificate to one of the local eateries.

August 1, 2016, we rented movies from Red Box to have family movie night. Upon arrival back to the condo with the pizza, we attempted to work around the television not working by watching a DVD. The DVD didn't work because there there was no HDMI cable. Again we contacted the property owner, who did not contact us back until the next day, August 2, 2016. She sent out the same tech to install a HDMI cable on August 2, 2016.

So, as you can see, our family vacation was very much so interrupted and the memory is not one to be record.

Owner's Response: Lea, you mentioned a malfunction in the lock, which was actually a user error, not a problem with the touchpad entry (confirmed by our maintenance man). We did everything within our power to remedy the issues you encountered with TV usage, and I'm sorry the TV problems were such a disruption to your beach vacation. We did attempt to thank you for your patience with these disruptions by purchasing a gift card for you to two local restaurants very close by. I hope you enjoyed dinner at both.

The Gulf Place development is unique, casual & fun. There are great little shops, a handful of terrific restaurants, a two acre grassy play area with concerts and other events. The beaches are breathtaking, clean and uncrowded with calm, emerald waters and sand that looks and feels like sugar! Enjoy the ocean view from this unit's extra large balcony.

We appreciate your participation and assistance with our efforts to operate the most secure and trusted vacation rental marketplace in the industry
